The Morehouse Chronicles: 5 Years of AWESOME

Get ready for....

The Story of how I knew I was going to marry Raymond Edward Morehouse.

Raymond and I have been together since November 15th 2009. It's been 5 years of an AMAZING ride. Now we are about to embark on the next chapter in our lives, Parenthood. Here are some pics from our Year 1/2 of dating. I'm so glad I found someone who I can be totally myself with and he still loves me. Crazy and all. He is going to be one amazing Dad.

Spring 09

This was the day I knew I loved Raymond. We were at a picnic with his School and we decided to play softball. Raymond and I were on opposing teams and I was up to bat. I hit a nice one out to Raymond in the outfield and when I was rounding 1st my knee gave out and I hit the dirt, hard. Let's just say, I didn't get up quickly. Raymond ran over to help me, bent down and lovingly said, "You have dirt in your teeth. Here, let me get it for you". Bahaha This man is willing to pick dirt out of my teeth. FOR REAL?

I had a huge cherry running down my leg and scrapes on my face. I immediately drove home so no one would see me cry. On the drive home my wrist started to swell and I could no longer use it. That night I was in so much pain that I called Raymond at around midnight. He immediately got in his car and drove the 45 minutes to come take care of me.

Now you should know that my reaction to any kind of pain, sadness, and stress is to throw up. Lovely, I know. So here I am barfing and crying because I was so uncomfortable. Raymond put me in bed and calmed me down. He stayed all night not sleeping a wink himself because I was groaning and being very wiggly and he was worried about me.

The next morning I had to lead worship at Threshold. There was no way I was going to be able to do my hair by myself. Raymond did my hair FOR ME! Who is this man???

This was the man I was going to marry. A man who would be loving and caring. A man who would try to make me as comfortable as possible in rough situations. This was the best decision I have ever made behind my choice to follow Christ.

I had to wear a wrist brace for the next several months... blah. Graceful MB Strikes again.

SES Graduation

This is Raymond's first masters degree. Oh, little did I know how many graduations I would see this man through! haha Here is to his 4th and final post-grad degree! Come ON PhD!!!! I really do love this smarty pants.
